HA...! The White House is begging Congress for a change

well, well, well... whaddaya know...

The White House scrambled Sunday to move up Attorney Alberto Gonzales' planned testimony to Congress on April 17 about his involvement in firing eight federal prosecutors, only to get a cold shoulder from majority Democrats.

now, why do you suppose...?

Until recently, department officials said they wanted to give Congress enough time to go through the more than 3,000 pages of e-mails, memos, calendar pages and other documents detailing the decision to fire the prosecutors.

That changed Friday - the day after Gonzales' former chief of staff, Kyle Sampson, testified to the committee - when aides said they would try to get Gonzales to Capitol Hill as soon as possible to explain his side.

[...]

It was Gonzales who chose April 17, said [Senator Patrick] Leahy, D-Vt., and that date will not change now because ``everybody has set their schedule according to that.''

``It's the date that the attorney general originally picked. It's the date the hearing will take place,'' Leahy said.

ahhhhhh... they weren't expecting good ol' kyle, a loyal bushie, to lay gonzo out to dry, and certainly not for almost three weeks...!

and "drying" he is...

Asked directly if he has confidence in Gonzales, Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said: ``I can honestly say the president does.''

but as for ME... well, i'd rather not say...

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...!
